Texas (then Republic of Texas).
The Constitution of 1836 was the Constitution of the Republic of Texas. It denied citizenship to African-Americans and Native Americans.
The first president of the Republic of Texas under the Texas Constitution of 1836 was Sam Houston. He served from 1836 to 1838 and played a crucial role in leading Texas to independence from Mexico. Houston's leadership during the Texas Revolution and his subsequent presidency helped shape the early years of the Republic.
A constitution was added in the hope that Texas would be made a separate state in Mexico.
Two very influential men in the creation and framing of the Texas Constitution in 1875 were Edward Pickett, who presided over the convention, and the convention's secretary, Leigh Chalmers.
awsome!
Because of the Constitution of the Republic of Texas, he was not eligible to serve two consecutive terms in office. He sat out from that position for three years and served in the interim as a State congressman and was then elected as the third President of the Republic of Texas.
The 1836 Texas Constitution established Texas as an independent republic following its separation from Mexico. It created a framework for government, including a separation of powers among the executive, legislative, and judicial branches, and affirmed individual rights such as freedom of religion and trial by jury. The constitution also facilitated the election of a president and a legislature, setting the stage for the establishment of a functioning democratic government in the newly formed Republic of Texas.
The convention was a meeting of delegates in Washington on the Texas Revolution that had begun 5 months prior. The Texas government fought the opposing desires. Declare intendance from Mexico or pledge to the Repudiated Mexican Constitution of 1824.
At Washington on the Brazos, two key documents were signed: the Texas Declaration of Independence, which declared Texas' independence from Mexico, and the Constitution of the Republic of Texas, which established the framework for the new government. These documents were pivotal in the establishment of Texas as an independent republic in 1836.
Hell yes it was...the Republic of Texas! (1836-1845) It should've remained it's own country. Regardless, the Texas Congress accepted a proposal by the U.S. Congress for annexation in 1845, by an unorthodox "Joint Resolution of Congress", thereby ending Texas' status as an independent republic and becoming the 28th state of the United States of America.
